This episode we will be discussing "Don't Look Up", a new star-studded flick which chronicles the reactions of America when a deadly comment is plummeting towards earth. Tommy and Emily had rather different opinions on the quality of this movie as per usual, but this time it seems Emily was almost able to sway him… What do you think? Tommy expresses his disdain for Jennifer Lawrence, surprise surprise; whilst Emily gushes over two of her favourite actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill.

In this episode we discuss the 2020 film Greenland, starring Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin, which follows a family trying to survive a planet eviscerating comet. As per usual we put ourselves in the world of the film and ponder how we'd handle an extinction level comet colliding with earth. Is saving yourself even possible, or should you just ring in the apocalypse with drinking and dancing?  Listen to find out.

In today's episode of the thismovieis podcast Emily and Tommy discuss the 2011 film Sanctum and how Emily can't help but watch films like this as well as real life videos of the many things which could go wrong on her own undersea ocean expeditions. 

Today Emily and Tommy branch off of our previous discussion, shifting the focus from bringing movie characters into the real world, to pondering which movie worlds we would and wouldn't want to enter.  Is it worth going in to a world of magic if you're stuck being a muggle? Which would be a bigger nightmare, a world with Zombies or Aliens?  Once again we opened this discussion up to our listeners to share their thoughts via the thismovieis Instagram.

Today Emily and Tommy engage in some discussion inspired from having previously watched "Last Action Hero", in which Arnold Schwarzenegger's Jack Slater character was eventually brought into that film's real world.  We wondered which movie character would we bring into our real world if given the chance, and asked our listeners to chime in via the thismovieis Instagram with their responses.  Who has the best answer?  It's not a competition, but there is a clear winner.

Today Emily and Tommy appropriately discuss the 1993 classic "Groundhog Day" and the rift it created between Bill Murray and his longtime friend/the film's director Harold Ramis due to clashing visions of what the film should be. We also discuss the film's lasting impact on pop culture and what we would do if caught in a time loop.
